Puerto Rico has been a breath of fresh air. From the skinny streets we drive down to get into town, to the handful of toys we brought for Van. It’s nice being somewhere different and seeing him adjust to the change in a positive way. Each morning after our breakfast of bananas, corn meal with cheese and butter, orange juice and coffee. We walk up the driveway to feed the horses a banana. Van likes to spray the momma off with the hose. She looks hot and seems to like the water cooling her off.

It always takes a few days to adjust to the mentality of the island and the lifestyle. We have so much at home and all of our needs are met. This week we ate lobster that Conner speared and papays off of Stefan and Summers trees. It tastes fresher when it’s not from a store.


We have been to a couple of the most beautiful secluded beaches.
The Local Puerto Ricans love our little gringo boy – they stop in the grocery store to dance and sing for him. He waves his hands in the air and shouts, “HELLO” & “HI” to everyone we pass. The landscape is beautiful and the terrain is rough, the island is full of people but they are all spread out. The trees are thick and green and the frogs call out at night with their high pitch whistles. The air is damp and wet but so fresh to take in. Tomorrow we are off for more adventures on the island….

Our trip to Puerto Rico was a breath of fresh air- literally. No work all Play and a little time to kiss in the sunset! Well we did do a little work on Stefan and Summers house, but that was fun and I learned how to use a nail gun!
